Thanks, but most of those are dried fruits and all are quite low in protein anyway in my opinion (with the exception of goji). But of course if that works for you, it's okay.
It is a sign of my system being cleaner than it was before. Onion and garlic are extremely potent medicines. They are not food. They have antibiotic properties and kill bacteria. Our guts have microbes. Now, connect the dots...
Garlic and onions are high in fructans which trigger IBS in millions of people a day.
My wife enjoyed and _loved_ galic for 30+ years before her IBS kicked in. Garlic is extremely bad for IBS because bacteria gorge themselves and produce a ton of gas, which causes horrible intestinal pain.
A study [0] recommends garlic and onions as key foods to restore a healthy, balanced microbiome.
I have never heard anyone before you claim that garlic or onions will kill bacteria. Rather, they let a specific kind flourish.
Indians know, or atleast knew till a few decades ago, that garlic and onion are medicines.
They have known for centuries. I have no idea about Italians and Greeks.
> Onion and garlic are extremely potent medicines. They are not food.
Sorry, what? Onion is one of the oldest cultivated plant and it's consumption exists in nearly every culture, in much "cleaner" times than today. If our guts can adapt to milk, it will have adapted to onion.
Also, you're going to have to show me evidence that the extremely potent medicine has extremely potent effects - what do we currently cure with onion? And please no big pharma arguments - aspirin and penicillin are still wildly available and they come from natural elements.
More than 75% of Asian population is lactose intolerant. Milk is not good for us. Body adapts to smoking and alcoholism. Does that make cigarettes and alcohol good for us? Coffee is a potent nerve stimulant, but too much of it makes you insensitive to its effects. Does that make coffee less potent or does that make you insensitive?
Potent medicine is what Ayurveda calls it. Garlic is right at the top. Our concept of potent and the way nature works are not compatible. Hence, the diseases.
Try detoxifying your body and then consume garlic to know if it is a medicine or just another food item.
The funniest thing is, once your system is reset, many foods that seem OK cause troubles.
I could eat a lot of onions and garlic in the past. Now, they trouble me a lot.
